The Australia Saturday Lotto is a popular 6/45 lottery game in the Land Down Under. It offers large, tax-free prizes and uncapped rollovers. And just as its name implies, this game is only held every Saturday evening. But don’t let that discourage you! There are six ways to win and your odds of winning are quite good.

About Australia Saturday Lotto

Australia Saturday Lotto logo

Launched in 1972 by the state of Victoria, and later handled by the Tattersalls Company, the Australia Saturday Lotto was one of the first lotteries in Australia that allowed players to pick their own numbers. Originally, the guess range was 1-40 with one bonus number drawn. In 1985, the guess range was expanded to 45 numbers and a second bonus number was added. This change brought with it new prize tiers and made the game more exciting.

Quick Australia Saturday Lotto Facts

  • Easy Mechanics: Playing the Australia Saturday Lotto is easy as it utilizes a 6/45 lotto matrix.
  • Big Minimum Jackpot: All Australia Saturday Lotto jackpots start at a guaranteed minimum of AU$ 4 million.
  • Unlimited Rollovers: The game features uncapped rollovers so if nobody wins the jackpot, the prize money will stack onto the next draw. It will keep doing so until somebody wins.
  • Six Ways to Win: There are a total of six prize tiers you can win in.
  • Good Odds: Your odds of winning the Australia Saturday Lotto are pretty good—where
  • One Draw Per Week: As the name says, the Australia Saturday Lotto only holds draws every Saturday evening.
  • Tax-Free Payouts: All Australia Saturday Lotto prizes are 100% tax-free at the source so you get to take home bigger sums compared to some lotteries.
  • Prizes Paid in Cash: On top of tax-free prizes, Australia Saturday Lotto also pays out prizes in cold, hard cash (no annuity payouts here!).

How to Play Australia Saturday Lotto?

The Basics

Australia Saturday Lotto is a once-a-week lottery game that operates on a 6/45 lotto matrix. This means that players must choose from 6 numbers from a guess range of 1-45. During the draw, two bonus numbers are also chosen along with the regular base numbers. The bonus numbers, however, are only used to determine secondary prize winners.

To win the jackpot, players must match all 6 numbers whereas, to win the second prize, you must match all 5 base numbers, along with 1 or 2 bonus numbers. Meanwhile, you can win the third prize by simply matching all 5 base numbers—no bonus numbers necessary. Players who match 4 base numbers wins the fourth prize, while those who match 3 base numbers, along with 1 or 2 bonus numbers, means you win the fifth prize. Finally, the sixth prize requires players to match 1 or 2 base numbers along with 2 bonus numbers.

Two of the most exciting features of the Australia Saturday Lotto are the big starting jackpots and uncapped rollovers. Grand prizes start at a guaranteed minimum of AU$4 million and can grow from one draw to the next if no winners are found.
